My short film Memory Scars will screen in New York next month as part of the Reel Venus Film Festival. Memory Scars is in the Saturday program hosted in the Maya Deren Theater at Anthology Film Archives. Here is some more info about the festival and the program:

"Reel Venus Film Festival is a three day event which was created and launched in 2003 to showcase an eclectic body of current alternative and mainstream, film and video shorts, 30 minutes or less in length, directed by emerging and established women directors, video and multimedia artists from the United States and abroad, whose work pushes traditional boundaries in storytelling methods that inspire, entertain, excite, inform and provoke its audiences with challenging topics, themes and images."

New shows are up for October. This past Thursday, I played in Duane Pitre's ensemble for an art auction benefit for Brooklyn's Issue Project Room. We performed his composition Origin for 7 bowed guitars. It was a lot of fun and benefitted a great performance space.

Next month I will be playing the free103point9 Radio Festival. Here's a excerpt about the festival from their site:

"free103point9 presents a fall festival of radio art and experimentation presented during three nights and one afternoon featuring radio theater, poetics, presentations, and noise with live video web streams."

Radio Noise
Saturday, October 18, 8 p.m., $7-10 sliding scale.

Neg-Fi: Minimalist metalloid duets played with severely detuned guitars and walkie talkies.

Noveller: Utilizing the pick-ups on her double-necked guitar, Noveller will explore the interaction between the stringed instrument and several electronic devices, including a hand-held radio, a tape player, and ebows.

Tom Roe: Performs with walkie-talkies, scanners, FM radios, and other receivers and transmitters, to craft noisescapes that sample pop culture.

Twisty Cat: Ed Bear + Lea Bertucci + Tianna Kennedy
